Towards the end of December 2013, into January & the start of February 2014 Ireland was battered by An exceptional amount of winter storms, culminating in serious coastal damage and widespread, persistent flooding.
February the 12th 2014 will go down in history for a day that saw a powerful and damaging storm. Some named the storm Darwin as the 12th was Darwins day, Galway and Lahinch, Co Clare were two of the worst hit areas with winds up to 160km/h.
During a period of calm in this storm I rented a plane to go around the Cliffs of Moher and the Aran islands.
